You also bring with you from your previous role the job of delivering the programme of the Valleys taskforce, which we've been hearing about at some length today. I think it's interesting that we have been talking about this a lot because it's possibly a subject that—over the last 18 months, we probably haven't heard enough about the mechanics of how it will work. So, I think we do need to look at it.
One aspect that I'm interested in is the retraining issue. We live, these days, in a fairly fluid labour market. If people leave their jobs for whatever reason, they may quickly need to retrain for another sector or work, and so skills is a key issue, as you've acknowledged in the past. How will the Valleys taskforce improve retraining and upskillng, and what sort of interaction will you have here with the skills Minister, Eluned Morgan?
